Win tickets to see piano great George Winston at Musikfest Cafe

Pianist George Winston once was dubbed "the father of New Age music," and in 1995 won the Grammy Award for Best New Age Artist.

But his music is far more inclusive, and in a career of more than 30 years, he has become one of the best known performers of contemporary instrumental music.

Winston will perform at 7:30 p.m. April 15 at Musikfest Café at ArtsQuest Center in Bethlehem, and we’re giving you a chance to win a pair of tickets to the show.

Over the next five days, through Tuesday, April 7, we’re going to post an item on this blog asking a question about Winston, his music or his philanthropic endeavors.

(Since 1986, George has raising money for food banks and service organizations, and will for the ArtsQuest show, as well. He will hold a canned food drive at the show and donate 100 percent of proceeds from merchandise sale to the organization.)

Anyone who answers the question correctly by e-mailing johnjmoser@gmail.com will be entered into a drawing at 5 p.m. April 7. We’ll give away two pairs of tickets to the show.

Thanks to our friends at ArtsQuest for supplying the tickets.

Anyone who gets all five questions correct will have his or her number of entries doubled, so it will pay to play every day.

If trying to win tickets isn’t your thing, tickets to the show remain available at $24-$34 at www.steelstacks.org or by calling 610-332-3378.

Today’s question: In several interviews, Winston has credited a television special with igniting his interest in composer Vince Guaraldi’s music. (Winston has release two volumes of Guarali’s music.) What was the name of that special?

Read Lehigh Valley Music on Saturday for the second question in our contest.
